Yes, this is exactly my impression too.. the code for opentelemetry-js is over engineered and adds a scary amount of dependency code. There are quite a bunch of libraries which I'm not sure what they do and in which scenarios I might need them. The documentation is not very helpful either. I look forward to someone implementing a opentelemetry-nano package with only the minimum stuff needed and allow me to choose extra support for my dependencies or an easy way of adding my own wrappers.
